President Edgar Lungu has expressed sadness at the death of former Executive Director of the Evangelical Fellowship of Zambia (EFZ), Pukuta Mwanza.
President Lungu described the late Reverend Mwanza as a man of God who was alive not only to the politics of the country but also to the welfare of its people.
He said the late clergyman, who died at Forest Park Specialised hospital in Lusaka today, loved his country.
“Reverend Pukuta Mwanza was always available to provide guidance on political and socio-economic issues,” he said.
Dr. Lungu said the Christian family, as well as Zambians in general will miss the late Rev. Mwanza’s contributions to national discourse and religious affairs.
“My thoughts are with Mrs. Mwanza and the children,” the President said.
Rev. Mwanza was EFZ Executive Director from October 2009 to January 2019.
And President Lungu is saddened that a Zambian has died after suffering from COVID-19.
The President is aggrieved that the COVID-19 has killed a person who would have lived longer had the disease not broken out.
He has since reiterated his call for Zambians to unite and fight the coronavirus which threatens human life.
“The disease is not far, the disease is not for any race, the disease is not for one class of people, it can infect any human being. So let’s follow the instructions from health experts to get over it,” the President said.
He added, “My heart goes out to the bereaved family”.
This is contained in a statement issued to the media this evening by Special Assistant to the President for Press and Public Relations, Isaac Chipampe
Its late now, evacuation efforts before being admitted to Forest Park Specialist hospital (fancy name) would have been applauded than paying lip service now.
MHSRIP.
Evacuate to where? Don’t you know there are lock downs everywhere? Bonse twalingana nomba.
It’s a very sad day indeed. We need to put all in God ‘s hands. Amen

This man loved money and eating crumbs from Lungu. He was a staunch supporter of the NDF and Bill 10. he was only interested in his plate of food and not for all Zambians. My heart bleeds not.
PF cadre passed away sorry mwanza for leaving poor legacy of wanting money from PF, nevertheless let God of Abraham and Jacob bless you as you are going to rest in internal peace.joshua Banda it is up to you to choose the type of legacy, that will make people to remember you.
He was a man of velour he as run his race and the race came to an end, may his soul rest in peace.
He was a man of valour?I remember him as a dissapointment

HE BROUGHT THE CONFUSION ON ZAMBIA FOR BEING SO MONEY HUNGRY INSTEAD OF STANDING ON THE TRUTH AND CHRIST BUT HE GOT CARRIED AWAY WITH AN ENVELOPE WITH CASH.LET HIM DIE IT IS FINE. GOD IS DEALING WITH THEM ONE BY ONE. I KNOW THIS IS UN ZAMBIAN BUT IT IS BETTER TO SAY THE TRUTH . AND ALL OF THOSE WHO HAVE BROUGHT CONFUSION FOR MOTHER ZAMBIA THIS IS HOW THEY WILL BE ENDING. NEXT YRS ELECTIONS LET THE WILL OF GOD PREVAIL ON OUR COUNTRY ON WHICH LEADER GOD WILL GIVE US AND NO THREATS.AND WHO WILL EVER WANT TO STAND AGAINST THE WILL OF ZAMBIANS GOD WILL MAKE THEM DIE WITH A STRANGE DISEASE.
